The Carnegie Range is a 29 km long mountain range in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . It rises with north-south orientation between the Errant Glacier and the Holyoake Range in the west and the Algie Glacier and the Nash Range in the east with heights of up to 1400 m . The mountain range is snowy apart from a few peaks and ridges in the northern part and Russell Bluff at the southern end.
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named him in 2003 after the American entrepreneur and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie (1825-1919).
